. Do not exceed maximum recommended load sizes. See
recommended maximum load sizes on page 10.
Remove loose items from pockets.
. Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons and zippers.
. During spin the washer may need to rebalance the load
sometimes to reduce vibrations. When this happens, the estimated
time is increased causing time left to increase or jump.
Horizontal washers do not require the tub to fill with water like top-
load washers.
See page !2 on how to clean the Pump Filter.
Incorrect operation
. Front-load washers start up differently than top-load
washers, and it takes 30 seconds to check the system. The door will
lock and unlock.
, Simply open and close the door firmly; then press START.
